My Uke Inspirations

So I picked up the ukulele in the spring and it opened up a lot of new unexpected windows...one of them being YOUTUBE STARS. There's a whole ukulele playing society on youtube and I love them soo much. For this post, I'd like to preview the amazing uke playing women in my life:

One of the first uke covers I ever heard. loving The Smiths:


zee avi! amaaazing, she has an old school feel.


shanifawni - she is my absolute favorite ukulele player on the internet.


she makes my days brighter. and I am constantly amazed by her multi-instrument playing ability.



daniellesmagic. this girl knows how to write music.


looove this cover. I was a huge Lloyd fan in middle school, haha.


uke bucket. frank sinatra : )


ukustanzie - I am currently trying to learn this song...so good. chord changes are a bit tough though.


katbadar - I absolutely adore her and her powerful voice.




ukeJill - starmaaan. oh david bowie covers, how I adore them.



Also, to be noted: Zooey Deschanel and Thao from Thao with the Get Down Stay Downs...I couldn't find videos but they both are ukulele playing advocates.

Coming soon...awesome ukulele playing guys on youtube? perhaps.
